Main Ingredients- 3 large eggs
- 2 slices cheddar cheese
Seasoning & Other- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch sugar
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch sugar
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Begin by cracking 3 large eggs into separate bowls. Carefully separate the egg yolks from the egg whites. To the egg yolks, add a pinch of salt and whisk them gently with a fork or whisk until well combined and uniformly colored.
Step 2
In a clean, dry bowl, place the egg whites. Using an electric mixer or a whisk, beat the egg whites vigorously to create meringue. Continue beating for about 3 minutes until stiff peaks form. After about 1 minute of beating, add a pinch of sugar and continue whipping to stabilize the meringue. Stiff peaks mean that when you lift the whisk, the whites will stand up straight.
Step 3
Gently fold the prepared egg white meringue into the bowl containing the whisked egg yolks. Use a spatula or the whisk to carefully lift and fold the mixture from the bottom upwards. The key is to incorporate the whites without deflating them, preserving the airy texture essential for a soft omelette.
Step 4
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Swirl the pan to ensure the oil evenly coats the surface. Pour half of the egg mixture into the skillet, tilting the pan to form a round, even omelette shape. Aim for a thickness that isn’t too dense.
Step 5
Immediately cover the skillet with a lid. Let the omelette cook for about 2 to 3 minutes. You’ll notice the surface starting to set and become opaque. Cooking over medium-low heat is crucial to prevent burning and ensure a tender result.
Step 6
Once the omelette is mostly set, lift the lid. Carefully place one slice of cheddar cheese onto one half of the cooked omelette, positioning it towards the edge.
Step 7
Gently fold the other half of the omelette over the cheese, creating a half-moon shape. Cook for another 30 seconds, then slide the omelette onto a plate. This brief cooking time after folding helps the cheese melt beautifully while keeping the inside moist.
Step 8
Serve your fluffy cheese omelette immediately. It pairs wonderfully with toast, a fresh side salad, or your favorite fruits for a simple yet satisfying breakfast or brunch. Enjoy your delicious creation!
